We regret to inform you that the chapter won’t be preparing breakfast for fly-in pilots – there were permits needed, and there just isn’t the time. We greatly appreciate that so many were willing to volunteer. We can still attend though!

Following is a list of current volunteers who have signed up to help out with the breakfasts at the Capitol Airshow on October 3rd and 4th. This is a two-day commitment for the Chapter, but volunteers can specify less, if necessary. If you don’t see your name, and you wish to volunteer, just email Gary or collar him at the airport. Further details are forthcoming, but you will at least get to see the airshow and have breakfast for free!

As discussed at the meeting last night, Mike Rutledge (of the Associated Modellers Of Sacramento F-4 model fame) has offered to give us a tour of the F-4 (and, if there’s time, the A-10) at the Aerospace Museum of California (3200 Freedom Park Drive, McClellan, CA 95652). We’re going to take him up on it. On October 11th, at 10:00, meet by the entrance. We have free tickets to give to the first 12 members there, and the rest of you’ll have to pay $8 each (seniors $6).

At the membership meeting, it was decided that we’d serve pancake breakfasts at the California Capital airshow on the 3rd and 4th of October. We’ll need people from 07:00 to 11:00 to sell, cook and serve breakfasts – we’re anticipating over 200 customers per day.

Watch history come alive by climbing aboard the 65,000 lb. B-17 bomber and step back in time to the World War ll era. Stand in the footsteps of the bombardier, the navigator, and the waist gunner and relive history in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly in one of World War II’s most vital and magnificent aircraft.

Description:
We’ll take a flight from the Sierra Nevada mountains to Palo Alto exploring the airspace and regulations from the surface to outer space! Another flight will take us from Palo Alto to Compton. Whether you are a Student Pilot or a 25,000 hour plus retired Captain, this presentation will give you the tools to fly safely in our national airspace system. Please bring a SFO Sectional and terminal Area Chart Digital or Paper). We’ll have a limited number of charts to use if you do not have one.
